AI Marketplace- AI Agents in Systems Engineering: From Documents to Models to Traceability

Bio.

Bio: Rik Rasor is Co-Founder of AI Marketplace GmbH. After studying industrial engineering with a focus on mechanical engineering at Paderborn University and RWTH Aachen University, Rik spent several years as head of the Digital Engineering group at Fraunhofer IEM, leading projects on PLM, model-based systems engineering and AI in engineering. Today Rik is closely involved in product development, customer projects and technical implementation at AI Marketplace.

Abstract.

Systems engineers spend a large share of their time on routine work: reading specifications, deriving requirements, building SysML models and keeping trace links up to date. What does it look like when AI agents take over that work – and the engineer stays in control? In this tutorial, participants follow one small system through a continuous, AI-supported workflow. Requirements are extracted from a customer specification and linked to system elements, tests and components. In the SysML model, specialized agents turn a natural-language description into blocks, structures and relationships, check the result for consistency and document every change. Analyses then reveal gaps, duplicates and the impact of a change across the connected data. Along the way, we discuss which engineering tasks are suitable for automation today, how to integrate agents into existing tools and processes, and where human judgment remains essential. Participants leave with a practical picture of engineering automation with AI agents and its current limits.
